September 2018 – Midwest Maize

September brings back-to-school activities, the first signs of fall, and a new book for AgBookClub. We’re kicking off year 2 with Midwest Maize: How Corn Shaped the U.S. Heartlandby Cynthia Clampitt. This book explores the staple crop that built a nation and what its future looks like as a source of food, feed, fuel, and more.
